Mother, boyfriend can conduct own autopsy in ‘Baby Doe’ case

BOSTON (AP) — A mother and boyfriend charged in the death of a 2-year-old girl whose body washed up on a Boston Harbor beach can have their own autopsy conducted on her remains, a judge ruled Tuesday.
Rachelle Bond and Michael McCarthy were charged last month. Bond's daughter, Bella, was known as "Baby Doe" for nearly three months as authorities launched a massive investigation and social media campaign to find out who she was and how she died.
